Andy Dekaney High School

Summary:

Andy Dekaney High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Houston, Texas, with a student population of 2,401 that is predominantly Hispanic (50.73%) and African American (44.02%). The school is part of the Spring Independent School District, which is ranked 776 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a diverse student population, Andy Dekaney High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, with low graduation rates (69.8% to 75.2%) and high dropout rates (4.3% to 7.2%) compared to nearby schools like Spring High School (85.8% graduation rate) and Westfield High School (78.9% graduation rate). The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is also well below state and district averages across all subject areas.

Further analysis reveals that the school's struggles are not limited to overall academic performance, but also extend to specific student subgroups. The school's rankings for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students are significantly lower than state averages, indicating that the school is struggling to meet the diverse needs of its student population. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student body, which may be a contributing factor to the school's challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
